Stunning work Dave. Love the conversion with the glowing cross.

I like them all, probably the best set I've seen so far...
 
Seems the lakes have been popular recently, these are very good. Is that a picture of brougham castle? Where were you for that shot - on the small bridge? I visited there just a few days ago and couldn't find anywhere to park my car so I couldn't get near it.
 
Can't say shot 6 does anything for me but the landscape version of No.1 is real awesome.
 
I like them all.. colors, contrast, strong and crisp sharpness... the shadows... I can never achieve it with my gear though.. the siggy I have is always soft.... saying that could be my camera.
 
Beautiful set of photos, perfect in every way to me.

Thanks Colin. Yes it is Brougham Castle taken from the small bridge. I got there very early on my way back from shooting the sunrise shots at Ullswater :) I've also got some of the castle in the mist showing the bridge in the foreground taken from the A66 road bridge. I'll post these later.
 
Some corkers there Dave, nice one. That new camera is doing the trick. Just goes to show, it's the camera that takes a good photo, not the person! :)

How's the gob mush? :)

I haven't been posting here that long (lurked for a while) but I can't remember ever seeing a duff shot from you. I just really enjoy looking at your work :clap:
 
Great set mate
Really like the light in #6 though.

Thanks very much Paulie, me too :)
 
Great work, I've enjoyed looking at them all but #2 stands out for me. :)
 
Great set. Personally I prefer the portrait crop of number 1. All that sky seems to emphasise the tranquility for me.:clap:
Bit of a downer though, I live about an hour from the Lakes, and have been there regularly for the last thirty years, why is it allways raining when I'm there?:(
 
Excellent photography.

Can I ask, did you use filters for these shots at all. I've never used a filter before but might just purchase some if that's the results of using them?
 
I've just came back from there, ahhh the memories.... all nice but am drawn to 6.

Typical that Keith. Mind you, this was my second attempt during the week I was up there. The firs time it absolutely chucked it down even though it was a clear morning where I was staying 10 miles away!

Yes Dave, I used a Lee 2 stop ND Grad, and a 10 stopper to get the water smooth.

He would have just had the stitches but he happened to try and get up again :D:thinking:
 
Stunning set - only live a few miles from all these locations (and walk past Brougham Castle most days) and its as good a set of this area as I've seen. I'd struggle to pick out a favourite as I'd feel like I was slighting one of the others.
 
I always seem to have a different taste to everyone else so would like to big up No 5 a little! :) I love the light, tones and the geometry of the lines.

But No 1 is great too! (y)
